Rolex content - Four Rooms Ch4 20:00 tonight

[tonytifoso]

Just a wee heads up for some watch content, a custom made Rolex for the Sultan of Oman, on tonight's show. I haven't googled for images but it might be an idea to have either sunglasses or a welding mask depending on your sensitivity levels

Tom Bolt.

Like the way he got a sly 'watch guru' mention in.

Knew when he walked in it was just an act of self promotion.

I'd love to have seen the look on Jeff Salmon's face if Tom Bolt had taken the bid of £300k.
Watch Guru has had the watch listed as POA for ages.

The Channel 4 article was written in 2 mins by someone with absolutely no idea what they were writing about, or any editor checking the content...

The fact that the Daytona was a manual wind, threw me.

That dealer guy is Charlie Boarman with no disguise.

The original 36mm 62-- series watches from 1961 to 1987, were all manual mechanical. The later 16520 which ran from 1988 to 2000 were automatic and used the Zenith 'El Primero' movement.

A cynic might suggest that Salmon appearing as a player willing to pay 300 and Bolt showing someone was willing to pay that would be worth a quick chat over a pint beforehand...

A cynic might.

So Dom, what are realistic dealer and resale values on this piece?

More than £300K and less than £500k!

I was gobsmacked that he turned down £300k. If this is the only example, then he can ask what he likes and at the moment that's £500k. Having said that, I couldn't find the watch on his site.....

[ugly woman]

he had no intention of selling that watch, he just used the program as free advertising.... anything wrong with that? not really i guess
